Brazil Extends Carlo Ancelotti's Contract Until 2030 World Cup
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has officially renewed the contract of head coach Carlo Ancelotti, securing his leadership of the national team through the 2030 World Cup. This decision represents a significant vote of confidence in the 66-year-old Italian manager, who assumed the role last year. Under Ancelotti’s guidance, Brazil successfully qualified for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Ancelotti expressed his deep understanding of the cultural significance of football in Brazil and his commitment to restoring the five-time champions to the pinnacle of global football. CBF President Samir Xaud emphasized that the extension aligns with the federation's strategic goal of maintaining Brazil's elite status in international sports. As part of immediate preparations, Ancelotti is set to announce his final squad for the 2026 tournament on May 18. The team will play a warm-up match against Panama at the Maracana Stadium on May 31 before traveling to their base in New Jersey. During the group stage of the World Cup, Brazil is drawn to face Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti in Group C.
